What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. create a linked .proto file 2. File New/FIle/Advanced/Link to file in file system 3. open linked .proto file 4. change and save

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the .proto file to be compiled

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Eclipse 3.7, protobuf-dt 1.1.1, Linux

Many projects share the .proto files, for instance Client and Server, this is a common pattern as keeping two copies of the same file is prone to issues. Linking the one .proto file in the client project is a good way to keep them in sync, so it would be nice if a linked proto file could be compiled.

A workaround I currently use on Linux is to create an O/S dependent symbolic link to the server .proto file, but using the eclipse linked file (or linked folder) would be a better option.

Issue 223 has been merged into this issue.
